Has it really been six months since I had my precious little boy? Yep... today is his 6 month birthday! My little Madden is quickly changing from a baby to a little boy and he never stops briging joy and happiness to our lives! And today to celebrate his 6 months with us, I talked David into letting me get his pictures taken at Kiddie Kandids at the mall. He's growing up so fast so I wanted to get some pictures taken to remember my baby! =) We went there this morning and had a great experience with them- if you want to do pictures of your kid(s), I highly recommend them. And they let us take a couple family pics too. I'm excited to have new pictures to put up in our new house when we move. =)Here are my favorite ones! (don't worry mom(s)- we got some for you too) My Favorite Favorite... =)After we got pictures we made a quick stop at Target- we saw this shirt and just had to get it for Madden even though it is 12m so he doesn't fit in it quite yet. I love it... (those of you who haven't seen Will Pharell in 'Anchorman' might not appreciate it as we do) =)

Those are so cute. Maybe next time we will go there, we went to JC Penneys because I had coupons there so we hardly spent anything and it would have been a good deal if there were tons of Jaxon that we loved but couldn't get many taken. But those are great pictures, and I really love your hair. I need to do mine dark so bad! You guys look great!

Those pictures are sooo cute!! The picture in the suitcase should be a poster or something it is sooo cute!! Madden is adorable he seems so happy. And you family pictures are soo cute I really like your hair dark it is veru cute.. I also like the new blog look :-).. Happy 6 months to Madden it's crazy how fast they grow! It seems like Savannah is still 6 months or even a newborn

I usually get my hair done professionally because I have never done it myself and am scared of what will happen. My cousin usually does it and when she was in beauty school and tried to do it dark it would turn orange so I am afraid that would happen if I tried from a box, so now that she is really good at hair and has been doing it for a while I might have her do it just so I know it doesn't turn orange! And yeah we won't use the coupons for a while, probably like 2 months but if they haven't expired then I might want them! Those pics turned out so cute!

Oh my goodness gracious! Those pictures are SO SO SO cute. I love them. What a good lookin family! I love the dark hair too. OW-OW...whoot-wooo! I love the shirt too...how funny is that? We need to get some professional pictures of Brody...they just grow so fast. I feel like I need to take a picture everyday cause he changes so much. Madden is a hunk! Such a cutey...i love his little smile!

The family pictures turned out great!Madden is a natural in front of the camera.The little guy has such an adorable smile and he's going to look so cute in that shirt!I love that movie!
